I have posted reviews all over this review site. Every online dating scheme is basically the same. The only one that EVER worked for me at all was the old Matchmaker. However, Lycos totally ruined it, and now Lycos is ruined in the marketplace. That means somebody else would have to buy it and resurrect it, but why bother? There are already too many online dating sites. You need at least 10,000 profiles of men and women per city to make it worthwhile. Nobody want to go back to the old Matchmaker style of offering 50 free emails to trial members. That really boosted the membership base and a few of them would become regular paying members. AS and all the others have abandoned that theory, moving in line with that greatest online ripoff artist of all: Friend Finder and all their associated sites. While every site has its particular flavor: white trash, yuppie, perverts, or whatever......it all boils down to desperado loser males buying most of the paid memberships and curious females posting trial membership profiles and then getting run off by the loser males. Most women I met were trashy as well. If they were attractive and had any money, they were usually psycho headcases or on the rebound from a divorce or breakup. You can pick up women like this in bars and gyms all across the country. If you live in a big city, I would advise visiting the biggest churches and going to their singles events. It can't be any worse than being online and you can meet in person and see if there is any mutual attraction. It virtually every case, there was no attraction on the part of at least one member in every online meeting I ever arranged. There will never be enough members in a rural area to make going online worth your while unless you plan of traveling to the nearest large city. This online thing is strictly for city folks, and they probably don't need it as much as they have a lot of other venues at their disposal. I would suggest joining a gym and at least getting a toned body while you look for people. At least you will eliminate the couch potato loser turds that are all too common online. eHarmony costs too much for what it offers, and most of the other sites have too few members locally to make it worthwhile for most users. The only site you should even try is Match.com because of their huge member base. If it works at all for you, then maybe one or two other websites would be OK. Until LOTS of normal attractive women start joining the websites, it's a waste of time for most males. The ones that have been successful so far have been the males that really didn't need it anyway. Online or offline, the winners will win and the losers will lose. Going online is just another option, and one that works especially poorly for males. I have more chance at a ski resort in a lift chair when it comes to meeting women, and I am having loads of fun in the meantime. Do interesting things in life and pull yourself away from the computer screen, and you will be more successful if you are male. You should only spend an hour or two once a week online if male and deciding to give it a try. Forget about contacting a lot of women. Things work better when they contact you, because at least they are interested, unlike 99% of the other women that saw your profile. Online women are cherry pickers, and unless you look really cherry to them, you have no chance anyway because they get 50 times the email you do. If a man, post a decent profile on several sites, then only check for email once or twice a week and answer any that are interesting. Spending lots of time online will do you little additional good. Let the women do the browsing, as there are many more men than women online and they can do lots of browsing and have a lot better chance of finding somebody really interesting to them. If one finds you attractive, then OK. Otherwise, spend all your other time offline looking for women. Women who mainly read letters that men send are worthless trash wanting success to fall in their laps and are useless in a real relationship anyway as soon as they have to pull their share of the load. Online is 1 star for men, and 3 stars for women. The women who are successful online would have eventually been successful offline, but going online speeds up the process if they don't have time for going to lots of places to meet men. Decent women WILL be successful online if they get the right system going and stick with it. Those expecting instantaneous success will be disappointed. A decent woman that learns the ropes will only need a year at most to make a very nice matchup, but I have learned that most women who join these sites are hopeless cases that are bound for a lifetime of screwed up relationships for whatever reason. Therefore, a guy's only chance is to sit tight and hope one of the few decent gals gets in contact. This reverses the standard male/female roles, and the mass of dummies never seem to realize the fact. Get over it. The only ones who will be successful online are rare gems that are few and far between. They seek the other rare gems, and aren't interested in the bulk of manure they have to wade through to get there. I found I could be more successful elsewhere, since I am male. Until more women join and get more active in making first contact, this situation will not reverse. For women who want to do the choosing, and are not shy, going online is a good deal and it's what they make of it. Until decent motivated women form a larger part of the online population, men should do nothing more that post profiles and check their email if they choose this route. That means they should ONLY join sites that allow them to answer for free to email sent by a female member.
